Psychiatric Emergency Department

A mental health crisis can strike at any time. For that reason, our Psychiatric Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide treatment and support to those experiencing a mental health emergency.

As a Baker Act receiving area, our doors are open to anyone experiencing an immediate mental health crisis.

Services Offered

We offer psychiatric screenings for individuals arriving voluntarily, under a Baker Act or Marchman Act, as well as those being transferred from another community facility. We also provide lab services, medical clearance and mental status exams.
